At this time, Thomas looked at Chen Feng with a serious face and said: "Chen, the deal is concluded. I hope to get the commission I deserve."
Chen Feng was not surprised or angry at his request. The two parties had already agreed that if he could introduce good customers and sell his movies at good prices, he would definitely be paid a commission.
Originally, Chen Feng was thinking of selling the overseas distribution rights after the film festival, but now with this bet, he can get 40% of the overseas box office, which is quite good. What's more, just like the previous ones
Foreigners say that it is impossible for them to promote their movies in each country. It is best to sell them at a good price in one go.
Chen Feng nodded and said: "I have two plans here. I can give you 2% of the overseas box office share, or I can pay you a one-time commission of 100,000 US dollars. It depends on your choice."
Thomas was immediately confused. He himself was very optimistic about Chen Feng's movie, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much effort to find customers to promote it to him. But the 2% commission was obviously a bit low, and the cycle was a bit long. Why?
It would take about a year. US$100,000 in cash seemed like a lot, but what if the movie's overseas box office was a big hit by then, so he was a little confused.
"$100,000 is too little." After a while, Thomas made up his mind. He felt that cash was safer and he could get it directly.
Before Chen Feng said anything, Edward on the side said: "Thomas, 100,000 US dollars is already a lot. Generally, if an intermediary like you introduces a seller, even if it succeeds, the cash payment is usually only 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars."
US dollars, US$100,000, is already beyond the market price.”
Edward is a local and has been involved in the film industry here for several years, so he knows everything about it.
Thomas glared at Edward with some dissatisfaction, then sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, just 100,000 US dollars."
Chen Feng smiled and said nonchalantly: "Okay, I will sign an agreement with Smith later, no matter you win or lose, I will pay you a commission of 100,000 US dollars."
Thomas was very satisfied after hearing this, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Chen, you are a very trustworthy gentleman and a generous person. If there is an opportunity in the future, I very much hope to cooperate with you again."
.”
Chen Feng could only laugh when he heard this. He was unfamiliar with him the first time and gave him such a film agent. Now that he has experienced such a thing, he has figured out the basic connections. The next time he meets, he will also look for Edward.
Such a friend.
After waiting in the private room for more than ten minutes, the lawyers from both sides arrived one after another.
The contents of the gambling agreement have been drafted by both parties, printed out, and completed after both parties confirm and sign.
As for the venue for the two-person game, of course it is in this club bar. Most bars in Europe and the United States have dart boards. This is a popular competitive game in bars.
When they came out of the box, there was a big dart board hanging on the wall not far from the bar. When they told the bartender about it, the bartender immediately took out the darts, and then he knocked on the bar.
A small bell loudly announced to the people in the bar that there was a darts game.
It is human nature to like to watch fun, and many people immediately gathered around to watch the fun. When they saw that it was Smith, the darts master who owns the group, competing with an Asian, everyone became even more interested. Some people asked.
After all, after learning about the gambling agreement, he became even more excited.
This kind of gambling scene is rare, and it involves the sale of a movie, which has never happened before.
Therefore, everyone was watching the excitement and cheered one after another without taking it too seriously.
"Chen, you choose how to play the game. Is it 501 or 301?"
There were at least fifty or sixty people gathered around, and Smith seemed very gentlemanly at this time, offering to let Chen Feng choose how to play.
There are many ways to play darts games, but in European and American or official competitions, the most important ones are the 501 and 301 games. It is named because the game always starts with a total score of 301 and 501, and each player throws a dart.
The first person whose total score is reduced to 0 wins.
Of course, if none of the players can reduce the total points to 0 at the end of the game, then the player with the fewest points remaining wins.
"Let's do 301. Hurry up, just ten rounds. What do you think?" Chen Feng asked.
Smith said without any hesitation: "Okay, no problem at all. I can even let you vote first."
Chen Feng smiled lightly and said: "This is not necessary. Let's just follow the rules of the game. Whoever's dart is closest to the bull's eye will shoot first."
"Okay. Then you go first." Smith said with an indifferent expression.
At this time, the competition site has been arranged. A rectangular table was placed more than two meters away from the dart board hanging on the wall. There were many darts on the table. The two of them just had to stand behind the table and throw the darts.
Just fine.
Chen Feng was not polite. He stood behind the table and picked up a dart in his hand. After weighing it for a moment, he threw it directly without much aim and hit the red bullseye.
The people watching the excitement were stunned at first, and then couldn't help but cheer and applaud. Smith's expression also changed slightly. Although he expected that Chen Feng's darts should be somewhat good, he didn't expect that the other party would be so good. No.
Not everyone can hit the target directly by aiming. Even a professional player like him may not be able to hit the target. Luck accounts for most of it.
After Chen Feng finished throwing, he stepped aside. The bartender took the dart and Smith stepped forward to throw it. He took off his suit and was only wearing his shirt. He aimed the dart for more than ten seconds before throwing it.
Hitting the target, it immediately attracted cheers and applause from the audience.
"Come again!"
Both of them hit the bull's-eye, and they had no choice but to try again.
Smith came first this time, and he immediately felt the pressure. After aiming for more than ten seconds, the dart still missed the target slightly. When it was Chen Feng's turn, he only aimed for two or three seconds before hitting the target again.
Bullseye.
As a result, Chen Feng won, and Chen Feng threw first. The one who throws first in the darts game must have an advantage, because the rules stipulate that whoever reduces the total score to 0 points first wins, and the one who throws first must have an advantage.
"Who will be the referee and scorekeeper?" Chen Feng took the initiative and asked loudly first.
"I come."
"I'll do it, I'm very experienced."
…
Several people volunteered. Seeing this, Chen Feng asked the bartender to be the referee and Thomas to be the scorer. Smith had no objection and it was settled.
The game officially started, Chen Feng started throwing three darts first. He was very fast, and all three darts were thrown out almost two seconds apart, and they all hit the bullseye. A total of 150 points were scored, and the remaining points were 151.
His move shocked everyone present. At this time, no one doubted that Chen Feng was a master anymore. Smith's face suddenly became more solemn, and he began to regret in his heart. He never dreamed that Chen Feng was such a powerful person.
A master. He can only comfort himself by thinking that this darts game is not about who hits more hearts, but about who throws first and the total points are reduced to 0. Not to mention the risk of exploding darts.
Exploding the dart means losing.
After the scoring was completed, Chen Feng stepped forward and pulled the darts off the plate. It was Smith's turn, and he also shot well and scored 135 points.
Then Chen Feng came again, and there was another sound of three darts hitting the dart board. The three darts hit 12, 18, and 20 respectively, three divisions, adding up to exactly 50 points. The total points were only
101 points remain.
The bar immediately became lively, and someone immediately shouted to start a bet on whether Chen Feng could win directly in the last round. To win directly, Chen Feng must be 50, 1, 50 or 1, 50, 50.
With these two results, everyone knows that Chen Feng had this idea.
Smith felt deep pressure again, and of course he knew what Chen Feng had planned. When it was his turn to throw this time, everyone didn't care much. They were just waiting for Chen Feng's next throw.
Under the expectation of dozens of people at the scene, Chen Feng was very calm. He calmly picked up three darts with his left hand, spread them out in his palm, picked up one with his right hand, took aim and shot it. With a click,
It hit the bull's-eye. Just as everyone was about to applaud, they saw that Chen Feng was doing the same as before, followed by the second shot, and the third shot. The second shot hit the 1 zone, and the last shot hit the bull's-eye, which is the double zone.
, there was no violation at all, and the total points were reduced to 0 points.
Chen Feng won the darts match without any suspense, very neatly and with the style of a master. At this moment, Chen Feng's whole body seemed to be glowing, making people look up to him.
